Composer: Robert Howard Title: Ghost Instrumentation: Flexible - 4 lines Duration: 4 minutes Difficulty: Moderate Programme note: Ghost takes its title from the art work by Ron Mueck (1998), which is currently on display in the Tate Gallery, Liverpool. Ghost is an extraordinarily realistic larger-than-life-sized mannequin. This model is of a young lady in a swimsuit, with exceptionally long legs and an embarrassed glance about her face. My piece attempts to capture the ghostly, solitary and threatening qualities of the work. Character is depicted in a four note mofif (heard at the beginning) which is transformed across five highly contrasting sections. Ghost was commissioned by COMA for the Autumn Residency at Tate Liverpool in October 2002. Availability: From the composer |
